migration of foreigners from the Continent
 into London is becoming very great and is
 seriously affecting native industry. That
 assertion, hovaver, is mt well founded, il
 the conclusions of late investigation are to
 be accepted. No less than ninety-fve per
 cent of the workmen were found to be of
 British birth; and in only two of the thirty five groups of trades did foreigners outnum-
 Der native-born, in only six was their pro portion more than nine per cent. As to the condition of the workingmen, generally con- sidered, the investigation would seem to have established beyond question the fact that at least fourth of them are in very deplorable circumstances, and likely to be worse off as winter comes on. Nearly thirty per cent. are already unemployed and for the rest the employment is very irregular.
 There have been but few congressman in Washington this summer, and an officer of the house thus explains their absence: The law keeps them away. Ever since can re- member it has been the habit of statesmen to come and go all through the summer as freely as if they lived only just across the river. They would travel hundreds of
 miles, as if 1t took but fve-cent car fare. They would come from great distances, and so often that the price of railroad tickets would eat up half their salaries And they didn't seem to mind the expense at all. There were nearly always from fifty to hundred members and senators here, going and coming every day. By the passage of the Interstate Commerce bill they cut away the bridge that brought them over, and they don't care to pay the ferry. This law has ae- tually deadened Washington during the re- cess. Before the law was passed nearly all the members had railroad passes.

THAT POOLING CONTRACT.

We publish on another page some recent
 and interesting correspondence between MT.
 Stevenson of the Derby railroad and Presi-
 dent Clark. Several weeks ago there was
 rumor that the New York, New Haven and
 Hartford railroad, as lessees of the Nauga.
 tuck, had been advised that the pooling con-
 tract between the Naugatuck and Derby had
 been made void by the passage of the Inter
 state Commerce bill. This rumor was, if we
 remember correctly, promptly denied by Mr.
 Stevenson and some of the directors of the
 Derby road. The letter of MT. Clark of
 September 23d shows clearly that the rumor
 was correct, and that the pooling contract of
 December II, 1879, ceased to have any force
 after the lease of the Naugatuck to the Con
 solidated company. The interest shown by
 Mr. Stevenson in the matter seems to demon
 strate clearly that the Derby railroad com
 Pany cannot afford to give up the advantages
 of the pooling contract, and that it is not
 able to do business at as low rates for the
 public as the Naugatuck and Consolidated.
 The Interstate Commerce act seems to be
 quite beneficial in it's operations to the peo- pie of New Haven and the Naugatuck valley if it gives them, as is apparent by this cor respondence, lower rates than they could have obtained while the pooling contract was in force. The reduction of 20 per cent in the rates for passenger fare is an important matter to everyone who lives in the Nauga- tuck valley or who has occasion to go there by rail; and it will strike the average man that the attempt by MT. Stevenson to mark up the rates for passenger traffic after they have been reduced on the Naugatuck road by MT. Clark aud the directors of the New York road is hostile to the interests of New Haven and the Naugatuck valley and not promis- ing indication of what might be expected if MT. Stevenson and those he is connected way. It is certain, however, that the public will have the advantage of the two cent a mile rate until the courts shall have declared upon some proceedings brought by the Derby railroad company that the pooling contract is still in force.
 The Consolidated railroad company has many good lawyers among it's counsel and would not have come to the conclusion that the pooling contract is void, nor have sug- vested that it be formally cancelled, nor de- ! ,lined to recognize the pooling contract fur her, unless it felt very sure of the ground it s standing upon. Whether the pooling con ract is void or not makes but little differ ence to the public if they can obtain the l owest possible rates. Mir. Stevenson can | 'asily issue mileage books of the Derby rails | .oad at two cents mile and thereby make l himself and his company more popular by ! conforming to the wise and liberal policy of l Nr. Clark. By so doing MT. Stevenson will l 'arn the good will of the people of the Nau- | ,atuck valley for his road, as the directors of ! he New York, New Haven and Hartford | aiiroad company have for theirs, by their I wise and liberal course since the lease of the l Naugatuck.
